  • Fun Hosts!

    I always love when Reanna comes on! She has great insights and love her dry sense of humor. I love how goofy Charlie and Nate are, and my favorite eps are definitely when it feels like I’m listening in on a hang out sesh, where they’re all just chatting, debating, and cracking jokes about pop songs. Fun pod! more

  • One of my favorites!

    Truly one of the best, most consistent podcasts. Even when an episode title doesn’t sound very interesting to me, I listen to the episode and invariably learn something fascinating. I always walk away more curious about and energized by the whole world, not just the world of music, and what more can you ask for? Plus, it’s entertaining!

  • My go-to music pod

    The recent episode about Beyoncé’s new singles was great! My favorite episodes are ones that break down songs and talk about the lyrics, instrumentation, musicians, lyrics, and melodies. I liked the new singles before the show, but now I have a deeper appreciation and understanding of them, so thank you!

  • Used to be good

    I used to love this podcast, but it’s gone downhill over the last few yrs. I enjoyed the in-depth dissection of pop songs and albums - lyrics, composition, vocals, instrumentation, production, music theory, etc. It used to have a pleasing structure as the 2 hosts went through their analysis, sometimes through the lens of a listener question. Now all the interviews are freeform, somewhat superficial conversations with random guests. The most recent episode devolved into trite commentary about mus... more
